I do not know nearly enough about the situation to say either way, but while this sounds unsavory, I often think back about how different things might be in the US, had we actually allowed Sherman to “clean out” the South as it were, after the US Civil War.
It’s nasty business, but perhaps necessary for the long term stability of a country emerging from a long, bloody, civil war.
Again, not clear to me that this is the case here, just playing devil’s advocate for the people who are coming out against this as a knee jerk reaction to political violence… That maybe these things need to be done sometimes, when failing to do so will result in far more bloodshed.
